It's also alleviated with IPv4/IPv6 connections (especially when using the -asmap configuration option) due to the cost of obtaining IPs in many networks.Ī connection to a single honest peer is enough to thwart an attempted eclipse attack. This is significantly less of a concern if you make -addnode connections to trusted peers (even if they're CJDNS, I2P, or Onion addresses). If all of your connections are controlled by a Sybil attacker, they can easily prevent you from seeing confirmed transactions and, with more difficulty, even trick your node into falsely reporting a transaction as confirmed on the blockchain. You can use bitcoin-cli -addrinfo to see the number and type of addresses known to your node. Using Tor or another anonymity protocol such as CJDNS or I2P alone without other networks may make a node more susceptible to Sybil attacks. If you are not running tor on 9050, you need to set "nolisten" manually otherwise you will listen on your public IP and possibly reveal that you are running a node. Run bitcoind with -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 (or whatever your SocksPort is).īitcoind will detect that you are using a proxy on 9050 and will force the "nolisten" flag.
Note that HTTP proxies cannot be used to add the Tor service. Tor must already be running for this to work, otherwise the programs won't be able to use the internet. Briefly, it involves changing the SOCKS5 proxy settings used by the application (for example, wget or a browser) to point to 127.0.0.1:9050. Once you have your Tor client up & running, you can configure your Bitcoin client to use it.Ĭheck "Connect through socks 4 proxy" with the address 127.0.0.1 and port 9050 (the Tor default port number)Ĭonfiguring an application to use Tor is also called to torify it.

To see how to configure Tor service on Linx or Windows check Setting up a Tor hidden service. Note on 2022: This project that executes Tor service on Windows with the above interface, and display an icon on the taskbar is called Tor Vidalia Bundle and it's not maintained anymore, deprecated and not recommended. On the taskbar of your compute you'll see a small green onion when Tor is running.
